Quote by Andrew Holleran

“Try not to be self-conscious […] or so critical. Don’t mope around looking for someone else to make you happy, and remember that the vast majority of homosexuals are looking for a superman to love and find it very difficult to love anyone merely human, which we unfortunately happen to be.”

“God Eyes (Sonnet) Perception is not a measure of reality, perception is a measure of distance - from afar the sun is a dot, from farther the milkyway is a dot, from farther still the universe is a dot. Likewise, from afar God is an entity, from up close, God is a state of mind, get closer still, and you are God. Perception is like an oscillator circuit, alter the value of the resistor or capacitor, and you change the oscillation. Likewise, truth changes based on the resistance, ie. ignorance, and capacitance, ie. awareness, of your vantage point.”

“La psicologia dell’epoca di Jung e Freud cerca di radicarsi in concetti fisici (come l’energia potenziale) per giustificarsi scientificamente. Vediamo quindi il solco profondo lasciato dalle prime critiche alla psicologia, che la spingono ad abbandonare una personificazione dell’inconscio a favore di un concetto di inconscio non personificato, più neutro e scientifico. Forse questa deriva che ha preso la psicologia, cioè il cercare di giustificarsi scientificamente con concetti presi in prestito alle scienze naturali, ha rappresentato un danno che ha impedito alla psicologia di fare propri concetti apparentemente legati alla religione, come il concetto di anima.”
